We are doing a local boys bedroom makeover the first week in December. I wanted to share the before and our plan! It might give you some inspiration if you are wanting to gift some bedroom items for Christmas!

Gifting experiences is a great idea for grandparent gifts too! Your grown up children will thank you for creating memories for your grandkids and keeping their homes clutter-free.
